TERMS OF CREDIT.
Tho Time Allowed by tho Various Couns
tries OF the World.

The Time Allowed by tho Various Coune
tries Of the World.
The following data regarding the terms
OF credit allowed in various countries are
derived from reports of United States
consuls published by the government:
In Australia credit Of six months 10
generally allowed.
In France four months acceptance
is required to he sent in settlement OF the
invoice.
In Italy but little credit business is
done and none without good security
being given.
In Asia Minor credit of but two or
three weeks is in most cases all that is
allowed
In Cuba the time fixed for payment is
generally from four to five months after
delivery of the goods.
In the Bermudas accounts are settled
but once year. The 30th of June is the
day usually fixed for the payments.
In England a payment of the price OF
the goods delivered is required Mt the end
of three months, dating from the day of
shipment.
In Austria it is scarcely possible to do
business without allowing very long
credit, which is nearly always one OF six
months.
In Spain four-fifths of the transactions
are done on cash basis, while in Portu-
gal great liberality is shown and quite
long credit is usually allowed.
In Turkey even objects of prime neces-
sity are sold on credit, and in this coun-
try, as well as in Russia, the time al
lowed is in most cases twelve months.
In China it is not customary to give
credit Money is obtained from lenders,
who exact an interest of from 8 to 12 per
cent. Business is nearly always con-
Quoted upon cash basis.
In Canada settlements are made at the
end of thirty days, with discount of 5
per cent. Sometimes a credit of from
three to SIX months is allowed. but in this
case there is no discount granted upon
payment of the account.
The consul general of the United States
at Rio states that one of the greatest
drawbacks to commercial intercourse
with Brazil resides in the necessity of al
lowing too long credit. At Rio JAN
GIRO, as in Buenos Ayres, the minimum

1t appears that in Germany the credit
system is very widespread, and that the
time allowed purchasers to settle their
accounts is generally much longer than
in France and England. Nearly every
commercial and manufacturing branch
of business has its own particular terms
of credit, and there is no uniformity in
this respect.
In Mexico the large commercial houses
willingly give credit of from six to eight
months, and in the retail trade long
terms are given customers in which to
settle their accounts. In Costa RIGA a
credit of from six to twelve months is
given in case of merchandise imported
from Europe, in order that the goods
may be easily and quickly disposed of.
But since this system of credit has often
led to losses it is now being given up

A respected contemporary points
out that the time has come for a
radical change in the present meth
ods of christianizing the Cinnamon.
Hitherto he has been placed in the
Sunday School, aud attractive young
ladies have assumed the task of
pointing out to him the true way OF
life. Attention has already been
called to the fact that the scholar
was sometimes more impressed with
his fair instructor than with his les
sons, but the climax is reached in
the story of a Chinese laundryman
in Illinois, who has become raw
ing maniac through unrequited love
for his Sunday School teacher. The
conclusion is that there must be an
immediate and radical reform, and
hereafter the almond-eyed Celes-
tial must receive his religious train-
ing from members of his own sex;
or from women whose advanced age
will effectually prevent the unhappy
complications resulting from in
struction as at present conducted.
This may cause large falling off in
the number of Cinnamon attend
ing Sunday School, but doubtless
it viii be better to let one son of
the East wander in the darkness of
ignorance than to have many made
mad by hopeless love. The Chi
nese have souls, and consequently
must not be neglected. It has also
been demonstrated that they have
. hearts, too often, it seems, bigger
than their heads. The problem,
therefore, is how to save the China
mans soul without giving his heart
an opportunity Of running away
With his head.

Facts and Figures Concerning ''Our.
Late Defeat "

Mn. EDITOR IF you will allow
me a brief space in your paper, |
will be glad to submit a few facts
and figures in regard to the cause
of sour late defeat for the special
benefit Of can Old Citizen" who
seems TO think that the late repub-
lican municipal ticket was nominat-
cd by trickery and composed of men
unworthy of the support of the par
ty, excepting only the candidates
for Mayor and Counsellor, to whom
he makes no objection. "Old Citi-
zen" says that ''with ticket on a
par with the one just defeated in
the local election, the party will be
doomed to further modification"
in the fall election. Now, sir, when
men like Martin NJ. Smith and
Samuel Jones, honorable, progress
sive aud worthy citizens, faithful
and consistent republicans, allow
their names to be used as candi-
dates for the City Council in ward
where defeat is certain, simply for
the purpose of completing the ticket
and adding strength thereto, it is
an outrage for any person profess
ing to be a republican to make such
an attack upon them as is made by
"0ld Citizen" And who would
have thought that a single word
could bespoken disparaginglyo of Got
lieb Feldmeyer, whose honorable
career and former faithful services
in the City Council place him be-
yond the suspicion of sympathy
with fraud or trickery /? while the
vote of the Third Ward as cast for
Thos. A. Thompson, the colored
candidate, is sc more than were cast
for Grafton Munroe and SO more
than was cast for Julian Brewer in
that ward two years ago. 10 the
candidates for the City Council in
the First Ward no word of objec-
ton has ever been urged, except
that four gears ago they did not
support the municipal ticket, and
against their personal fitness and
character no word of objection can
be fairly urged. But a single
glance at the figures below, giving
the vote at the municipal election
two years ago and at the election
Monday, will show conclusively
that the republicans, instead of re-
pudlating their ticket, cast hear
ter rote yesterday than two years
ago, while the democratic vote fell
off; also that Levely and Russell, at
whom the article of cold Citizen"
is principally aimed, polled better
